------- Additional comments from [EMAIL PROTECTED] Wed Jun 7 05:16:44 -0700 2006 ------- I think a mail from Microsoft would be quite helpful: > > Hi, Omi. > > You’re idea is interesting, but I suspect it won’t actually work. At an earlier step, Uniscribe breaks a string into script-specific runs, and makes decisions regarding whether the font supports the given script or requires fallback to a different font. The problem has been that Uniscribe has treated the dandas as strictly Devanagari and will have made a fallback decision to Mangal before your OpenType lookups get applied. > > (Some apps that call Uniscribe APIs directly may not get the effects of Uniscribe’s font fallback, so it would work in those cases, but in those cases the dandas would display from your font even without this.) > > We have been working on this issue in Uniscribe. At least, we should be able to display a run of Bengali ending with dandas using your Bengali font (or whatever font for whatever Indic script). If a sentence happens to end with something like an English word, things are a bit trickier, but we’re looking at whether we can do anything about that scenario. > > Re PRI#37, it’s been a while, so I’d need to review the docs to remind myself what was decided. (Indic shaping isn’t the only thing I work on J.) I’ll get back to you on that. > > Peter --------------------------------------------------------------------- Please do not reply to this automatically generated notification from Issue Tracker.
